The problem being bottom tier every game is that you have much less influence in the outcome of the battle than the upper two tiers. Therefore, the outcome of your game is more determined more by luck (i.e. MM) than your skill. I went a whole hour yesterday after popping a reserve without a single win, and yet I played pretty good in those games. I was also bottom tier in every one.

My point is that you may have had a 35% win rate, some of that will be down to you, some of it due to the tank, but most of it due to MM.

The issue is NOT tier VIII premium tanks. The issue is many people actively playing tier Xs still want to seal-club tier VIIIs, so they are keeping the "Grand Battle" button in settings unchecked. That is also why people trying to get INTO Grand Battles are frustrated.121`
